I've used John Gowing Jewellers a couple times now for jewellery repairs, and each time they've been great. The repairs have been really well done and the service throughout was friendly and helpful.

Over the years I have bought jewellery, had many watch battery changes, new watch straps, pearls re strung etc., and every encounter has been a pleasure. Prices are very reasonable for high quality goods.

Needed replacement batteries for Tag Heuer and this fantastic jeweller did this within 1 hour including testing for water pressure and much cheaper than anyone else I’ve come across.

We had a wonderful experience with John Gowing Jewellers! We came to them with nothing but a picture for a ring design and they accommodated our request with incredible flexibility and professionalism. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Went in to John Gowling yesterday with several pieces of very special, damaged jewellery. The welcome and service was exceptional. A lost art in so many shops.

I've used these jewellers many times over the years for watch batteries, straps etc. and always had a great service. Recently went in there to buy an engagement ring.

The High Street jewellery retailers didn't want to help us but referred us to John Gowing for watch batteries, servicing and strap replacement for our watch collection. Excellent, would definitely recommend.
